Summary - THE SHOEMAKERS 11 FOREST GATE ANSTEY LEICESTER LE7 7JW
1 bed 2 bath Apartment
Stylish duplex near village amenities, ideal for single buyers or couples.
Gated development with allocated off‑road parking behind electric gates
Set within the gated Shoemakers development in Anstey, this industrial‑themed one‑bedroom duplex offers striking double‑height volumes and a light‑filled mezzanine bedroom with an en‑suite. The open‑plan living, dining and kitchen area showcases exposed brick and beams, creating characterful, contemporary living for a single buyer or couple. Allocated off‑road parking behind electric gates and communal landscaped gardens add convenience and outdoor space.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (approx. 977 years remaining) and an annual service charge of around £1,900 covering building insurance, ground maintenance and communal services. Council tax sits at Band C. Heating is gas boiler and radiators; glazing is modern double glazing. Broadband speeds are reported as slow locally, despite excellent mobile signal.
The layout suits buyers who value style and vertical space rather than a large footprint. The mezzanine bedroom and internal stairs may not suit those needing fully level accommodation or extensive storage, though an allocated external storage area is provided. The property was constructed in the early 2000s and appears well maintained, but buyers should arrange their own inspections of services and appliances.
This apartment is a strong choice for first‑time purchasers or professionals seeking low‑maintenance village living with easy access to Leicester, nearby schools and countryside walks. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, vaulted ceilings and industrial features in person.
